ReFrame 2026
Presented in person from January 30 – February 1 and online across Canada from February 3 – 8, ReFrame 2026 was a powerful shared experience and a resounding success.
We are deeply grateful to the audiences, artists, partners, funders, sponsors, and volunteers who made this magic possible. We look forward to gathering throughout the year for community programming and igniting the long winter nights once more at ReFrame 2027.

Since 2005, ReFrame has been lighting up the darkest time of year with the best social justice documentaries from down the street and around the world.
Our goal is to spark dialogue and positive change, while fostering meaningful connections between audiences, filmmakers and artists, community partners, and neighbours.
